News of Andy and the Farmers' market in Alnwick

Although I live in Edinburgh, I went to Alnwick in Northumberland having seen here that Andy was having a stall at the Farmers' Market today. I met a friend but stupidly chatted too long over coffee, so that by the time we got to the Market at about midday, Andy had almost completely sold out of his bread and pastries ! I bought the very last Foccacio, and my friend bought some palmiers. It was really nice to meet Andy and put a face to a name, to hear about his plans for the future, and to see pictures of his wood fired oven. He had also been featured by the local newspaper - all brilliant. A great start, I must just get there earlier next time !

Hi, i'm new to the site and it seems, unusually, English. My story is long but i'm basically investigating taking a small shop with extremely low costs with a small flat above.

I have cooked and baked professionally, and my location is pretty much a baking wasteland, the site is 75 yards from a Victorian seaside front which has big Footfall at weekends and holidays. The shop is small but so are my needs, its my intention after further research to build a Alan Scott Brick Oven in the shop and start flogging 'world class' Sour Dough's and naturally fermented Breads to a pre-planned regime from there. a Core of Four Breads and a small selection of Specials of the day kinda thing. Well, thats the plan anyway!

It seems you are further down the road than me and might give me some pointers or at least we can support and debate.....touch base with me if you wish, i'm not sure of Forum etiquette but how do we make contact privately...or we can just discuss our business here?
